Tom Strong! I’ve never been a big fan of the actual stars of this new series, THE TERRIFICS. But, apparently, Mr. Terrific, Metamorpho, Plastic Man and Phantom Girl will be searching the multiverse for Tom Strong. Tom Strong was created by the great Alan Moore for his America’s Best Comics imprint which went over to DC when they acquired Wildstorm. I’d be willing to check this series out to see how DC brings back Tom Strong and his family. “Bound together by fate, united by the spirit of exploration and hope for tomorrow, the Terrifics are bound from the Dark Multiverse of Metal. When Mr. Terrific, Metamorpho, Plastic Man and Phantom Girl find themselves literally bound together by a tragic […]

Spinning out of the Venomverse storyline, the ‘Poison X’ storyline starts in this annual issue of X-MEN: BLUE. The expansion of the symbiote ‘universe’ has been hit-and-miss. I’m really hoping this storyline gives the symbiote a righteous place in the galaxy. “THE CROSSOVER BETWEEN VENOM AND X-MEN BLUE STARTS HERE. Spinning out of the events of Venomverse, the Children of the Atom and the Lethal Protector team up to take down an extradimensional threat. This is it, folks, the team-up you’ve been asking for: X-MEN BLUE and VENOM must band together in the cold reaches of space to protect our universe from a threat more diabolical than you can imagine. But will EDDIE BROCK, his faithful SYMBIOTE, MARVEL GIRL, CYCLOPS, […]

Japanese-inspired ghost stories spun around a common thread of food. Looks delicious! This mini-series kicks off Dark Horse’s new imprint, Berger Books. Karen Berger is best known for her integral role in creating DC’s Vertigo imprint back in 1993. She was the line’s Executive Editor until 2013. With this new imprint at Dark Horse, she’ll be editing a select, curated line. “On a dark, haunted night, a Russian oligarch dares a circle of international chefs to play the samurai game of 100 Candles-where each storyteller spins a terrifying tale of ghosts, demons and unspeakable beings-and prays to survive the challenge. Inspired by the Japanese Edo period game of Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, Hungry Ghosts reimagines the classic stories of yokai, yorei, and […]
